Flowers make the Tree think it’s Spring.

9122009

All the trees are hers… as the song goes. This little tree outside the Tolko building has been adorned with flowers and she loves it! Picture sucks (this is the best one and you can hardly see the blossoms), but the tree looks happy in all of the sparkling December night lights… It was so cold while I did this that my fingers were numb and I couldn’t feel my bum. You can’t tie knots whilst wearing mittens and it was -15C and windy. So off came the mitts and out came the fingers and I could barely use the camera after doing so.

Knitted peeny is gone as of Monday night or Tuesday morning this week…

About the Great Canadian Pop Cultural Intarsia Series

Suggestions are starting to come in for my Great Can Pop Cult Int Series. My goal is to make a whole shwack of knitted panels featuring Canadian pop cultural icons and to use these panels as an exhibition. So far, I've heard:
Margaret Atwood
Leonard Cohen
the CBC Logo
Douglas Coupland
Romeo Dallaire
Terry Fox
Chief Dan George
Paul Gross
Rick Hansen
the Hanson Brothers
Gordon Lightfoot
Sook-Yin Lee
Peter Mansbridge
Kate McGarrigle (log driver's waltz)
Bob and Doug McKenzie
Christopher Plummer
David Suzuki
Pierre Trudeau
Neil Young
But I'd love to hear more ideas. I want to know who *YOU* think should be included and WHY! Send me your suggestions so I can immortalize your favourite Canadian in knitting.
